Trust me. He won't be in a Hull FC shirt again.

A fully fit Motu would be worth a spot in our 17, probably on the bench for his utility value. Can cover pretty much any position other than prop ot 2nd row. People saying he wouldn't get a game are deluded.

I wouldnt have Motu over Houghton. In his prime I would but not now.

Think he means that as a versatile utility/cover player he'd be pretty much guaranteed to get a game or three over the course of the season.

Saw Motu last week.He is still limping quite badly.

Fair enough then. If Motu can get fit and we have the space on the cap then he could be useful to have in the squad, but with no injuries, then he wouldnt be in the 17 for me.

Each to their own. I mean fully fit. He's only in his late 20's so still in his prime IMO.

I know hes had his injuries but he hasnt done anything for 2 years. Dont think hell ever be the same player as he was in 2006/2007.

He's been injured for the last 2 years so how could he do anything?

You may be right re him never getting back to his best which is why I said IF he was fully fit.

Much as I like Houghton he isn't anywhere near as good as a fully fit Motu and doesn't have the versatility anyway

Only 26 according to wiki. Plenty of time left for him if he can get fit

Hes had games for us in those 2 years and didnt do anything. Hes getting older now so injuries will start coming even more often.

And agreed about Houghton.


Think hes older than that to be honest.
